2017 Jeep Cherokee Overview

New/Notable:

Three different 4WD systems

Newly standard HID headlights

More premium interior features for Trailhawk trim

The 2017 Cherokee is a mid-size SUV that seats up to 5 passengers. It competes with the Ford Edge, Toyota 4Runner, and Nissan Murano. This year, the Cherokee gains standard HID headlights and more interior features for the Trailhawk trim.

Five trims are available: the Sport, Latitude, Limited, Overland, and Trailhawk. Two other Special Editions are available with limited production: the Altitude and High Altitude.

The uniquely styled Cherokee has a 7-slot front grille and narrow-slit headlights. The underbody is clad in black for a rugged appearance, but body-color trim is also available. The front windshield has a low-profile, subtle slope for better aerodynamics. Standard features include power side mirrors, a rear spoiler, and 17-inch steel wheels. Underbody skid plates, a panoramic moonroof, and a power liftgate are available for a better off-road experience.

Under the hood, the Cherokee has two engine options: a base 184-hp, 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine and a more powerful 271-hp, 3.2-liter V-6 with start-stop engine technology. Both engines are mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission and front- (FWD) or 4-wheel drive (4WD). There are three different 4WD systems available that range from a relatively basic one with a single power transfer unit that controls torque between the front and rear wheels, to a more robust system that adds a locking rear differential and Selec-Terrain traction control, which offers up to five customized suspension and crawl settings for different environments.

Fuel economy for the Cherokee 4-cylinder is an EPA-estimated 21/30 mpg city/highway (21/28 mpg with 4WD). The rating decreases to a 19/25 mpg rating for the Cherokee V-6. The Overland 4WD model lowers to the rating further to 18/26 mpg.

Inside, the Cherokee has a standard black cloth interior with a 60/40 split-folding rear seat. Maximum cargo capacity is 24.6 cubic feet with the rear seat folded down. The center stack features a standard audio system that includes a 5-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity for phone and audio, and a USB port. It can be upgraded to a larger 8.4-inch touchscreen, an integrated navigation system, an HD radio, and premium audio speakers. Standard features include air conditioning and power windows/locks. Leather-trim front bucket seats, power/heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a wireless charging pad are also available.

Standard safety features include ten airbags, antilock brakes, and electronic stability and traction control. There is also plenty of available safety technology, including front/rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, lane departure warning, forward collision warning with automatic braking, and an automatic parking system.
